Red Tailed Hawk

Definitely Red-tailed Hawk.

-O-

Immature redtail. It's got a rather full crop. It's just eaten a nice big meal. (Notice the full, rounded white area beneath it's chin.) Did someone feed this bird some dead rodents?

I'm the friend for whom Peggy so kindly posted this picture. The bird swooped down into the compost pile, caught something (a baby rabbit?), flew off to the top of the swing set, and was eating it while my husband took the picture. You can see some of the guts hanging off the side. An amazing bird, and huge! It came back several times. Thanks a lot for your help, everybody.

Thank you!
